NOTE TO THE PRESIDIUM OF THE CEC.
To the Presidium of the CEC.
[March 17, 1919]
I request that an investigative commission be appointed without fail*.

1 G. I. Theodorovich, head of the Political Department of the Eastern Front, and S. I. Gusev, member of the Revolutionary Military Council of the Eastern Front, wrote to Lenin on March 17, 1919 concerning peasant unrest in Simbirsk Province. Pointing to agitation by Left Socialist-Revolutionaries as well as a number of unlawful actions by local authorities as the cause of the unrest, Theodorovich and Gusev considered it necessary to establish "an investigative commission with representatives from the Central Committee and the All-Russian Central Executive Committee to investigate all Soviet and Party organizations in Simbirsk Province."
The note was written by Lenin on the telegraph message from Theodorovich and Gusev.
